Yahoo recently introduced a new flash preview player for its image search technology that allows users to browse the results quicker and easier. Basically, the new function is available only for Yahoo Japan and is based on a flash player that opens a new window able to show the pictures as a slideshow. Although the company didn't officially announce it, I really expect to see this flash player in the main version of Yahoo Image Search soon.
